Juicy chicken breasts are marinated in flavorful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/balsamic-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/balsamic-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">balsamic vinegar<\/a>, seasoned with a medley of fresh herbs, garlic and lemon zest and then grilled to perfection. You&#8217;ll be wowed by how tasty this chicken turns out, especially considering how easy it is to make.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Balsamic Chicken<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Balsamic vinegar:\u00a0<\/strong>Balsamic vinegar encourages the chicken to stay juicy and creates a tangy, salty and slightly sweet marinade that pairs perfectly with crispy grilled chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extra-virgin olive oil: <\/strong>Olive oil helps infuse the chicken with moisture and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> We use a mixture of fresh basil, fresh chives, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper to season balsamic chicken. Feel free to get creative with the seasonings if you have other spices on hand (though we don&#8217;t recommend skipping the lemon zest, as it helps to cut the sweetness).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boneless skinless chicken thighs:\u00a0<\/strong>You can replace the chicken thighs with breasts. But keep in mind that chicken breasts cook faster than thighs so you&#8217;ll need to adjust accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Combine the ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Balsamic-Chicken_TOHD24_139487_AbbeyLittlejohn_01.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken thighs tossed in balsamic vinegar sauce mixture for step one of Balsamic Chicken recipe for Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Abbey Littlejohn for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whisk together all ingredients except the chicken.

Cut the chicken into thin slices and finish the pasta with a bit more olive oil, fresh basil and parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Balsamic Chicken<\/h2>\n<p>Store any leftover balsamic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make balsamic chicken ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can certainly marinate the chicken ahead of time. Allow the meat to sit in the marinade in the fridge for a few hours before grilling to intensify the flavors.<\/p>\n<h2>Balsamic Chicken Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2073434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Balsamic-Chicken_TOHD24_139487_AbbeyLittlejohn_05.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Balsamic Chicken on a serving platter topped with chopped parsley or Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Abbey Littlejohn for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I know when my chicken is done?<\/h3>\n<p>This depends on whether you&#8217;re cooking chicken thighs (as the recipe calls for) or breasts. Boneless skinless thighs generally need about seven to eight minutes per side, whereas breasts need about five to six minutes per side. Use a digital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-meat-thermometer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-meat-thermometer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">meat thermometer<\/a> to ensure your chicken has reached the safe minimum temperature of 165\u02da.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I bake this chicken recipe instead of grilling it?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can, but we&#8217;d recommend following a different recipe.
